ABOUT
"Regenerated" delves into the monotonous daily existence of a typical working woman. After a grueling day, the protagonist seeks solace in personal moments of sensuality and then harnesses the blood of a baby alien she gave birth to in order to rejuvenate herself.
Drawing inspiration from the surreal depictions of daily life in films like ‘Baraka’ and ‘A Pigeon Sat On A Branch,’ "Regenerated" aims to explore the bizarre, secret rituals that lie concealed beneath our veneer of conformity.
This project was realized in a tight four-hour shoot with a dedicated team comprising three other women and our leading actress. It demanded a collective effort to perfect each scene, relying on extended one-take shots to capture the essence of our vision. The process was both exhilarating and exhausting, but the sense of achievement and pride in our final work made every challenge worthwhile.
